A club spokesperson said: "I'm sure everyone will have been shocked by the news, and we are only too happy to help where we can in replacing these presents for the children. Like everyone else, we're delighted to support the fantastic work the hospital do."

It's a nice resolution to a twisted situation and an equally nice bit of PR for the Glasgow club already enjoying a great year on the back of beating Barcelona and reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League. Surely the club's holiday season generosity will bring another tear to Rod Stewart's eye.
